Chapter 253 vs. Inter Milan
After the World Cup preliminaries, Jia Yi flew back to London.
His physical fitness is really good. After the team doctor checked, he found that there was nothing wrong with him.
Therefore, Wenger is also completely relieved.
In the 30th round of the league, Arsenal went away to challenge Blackburn, and Jia Yi also continued to play.
The opponent is also fighting for relegation and is also the opponent of the FA Cup semi-finals.
Therefore, the two sides must fight with real swords and guns.
Blackburn played at a high level and they ran aggressively, causing a lot of trouble for Arsenal.
Arsenal's pass was greatly damaged, and the opponent did not spare their physical fitness, so they could naturally cause trouble.
However, the result of the game was 0:1. In the 66th minute, Arsenal seized a loophole in the opponent's defense, Henry lobbed and scored the only goal of the game.
The opponent's super-level performance also made people see that the Premier League really has no underdogs.
If Blackburn can continue to play this kind of performance, they will definitely be able to avoid relegation.
At the press conference after the game, Wenger also praised Blackburn's performance, thinking that although his team had won 22 consecutive victories, it was very difficult to win.
However, regarding the performance of the players, Wenger didn't think there was any problem, especially for Jia Yi, he still supported him.
Although Jia Yi's performance in the game can only be mediocre, probably because of running back and forth, and facing different opponents, Jia Yi's game was really not exciting enough, and he didn't create many opportunities. They all deviated from the goal range.
But Jia Yi's interception in the middle is still very good, strengthening the defense of the two teams in the middle.
No matter what, it is important to score 3 points.
Among the title contenders, Chelsea and Manchester United also won, and the distribution of the top three remains unchanged.
The only change is that there is one less round in the league, which is definitely not a good thing for the two chasers.
There are still 8 rounds left in the league, Arsenal's lead is still 5 points, and the prospect of defending the title is optimistic.
Entering April, the season has entered a critical stage.
Success or failure, just this month.
Arsenal first ushered in the challenge of Norwich. Obviously, the team in the relegation zone is not the leading opponent.
Arsenal beat the lowly Norwich City 5:1 at home and continued to lead the standings.
Chelsea beat Southampton 1:3 away, allowing the latter to continue struggling with Norwich in the relegation zone.
However, Manchester United was tied 0:0 by Blackburn this round. They are 10 points behind Arsenal. Obviously, they have already withdrawn from the championship stage.
From a tripartite confrontation to a duo, the structure of the Premier League has changed again.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are very strong, and neither of them is willing to fall behind at this time.
Of course, Arsenal, with a 5-point advantage, is naturally more optimistic.
After playing this round, Arsenal immediately flew to Milan to participate in the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals with Inter Milan.
Jia Yi is no stranger to the venue. Last season, he led the Munich 1860 team to defeat AC Milan here.
Although Inter Milan's home stadium is called San Siro Stadium, it is actually the same as AC Milan's San Siro Stadium.
However, Inter Milan is very miserable now. Over the years, they have not been able to reproduce the glory of the great Inter Milan era.
Even in the few seasons when the aliens were all-powerful, they were still suppressed by their opponents. Especially in the 2001-2002 season, Ronaldo's sad tears were extremely moving.
This season, under the leadership of young coach Mancini, they are still unable to launch an impact on the championship, and they are already 13 points behind Juventus, which is at the top of the list.
There is no doubt that they can only pin their hopes on the Champions League.
At the press conference before the game, Mancini was very confident that the team could beat Arsenal at home and get enough goals.
"Everyone knows that Arsenal has the talent of Jia Yi, but we also have Adriano. We will score enough goals at home, then advance to the semi-finals, and then stage the Milan derby in the Champions League."
Mancini was in high spirits.
Wenger was also very blunt: "It is very difficult to stop us. We have never been afraid of away games. We have an excellent lineup. I think Jia Yi can definitely break through Inter Milan's goal.
Although the opponent deserves respect, we need the champion, so we will strive to get points away from home. "
As the match day approached, players from both sides stepped into the Meazza Stadium.
The opponent's lineup is actually not weak. Martins and Adriano's striker partner has speed, strength and shooting.
Especially Adriano, he is a heavy shooter now, he shoots very well, and his free kicks are also very threatening.
Jia Yi tried to communicate with Adriano, but the latter didn't take care of Jia Yi. It seems that his character is still a bit introverted.
In fact, Jia Yi quite likes this player, and also sympathizes with his experience in another time and space.
He was supposed to end up in Ronaldo's class, but in the end he was abolished. He was depressed and did not become a superstar in the end.
The midfielders Van der Meyde, Veron, Stankovic and Cambiasso are all top players, with excellent offense and defense, and all of them are stars in their playing years.
However, after letting Materazzi go, the strength of Inter Milan's defense has declined somewhat.
Of course, Materazzi did not appear in this game, he did not come to Milan.
Of course, Arsenal didn't lose to their opponents either. Mr. Jia Yi's [-] million pounds alone was enough to cover half of their team.
Fans from both sides also began to shout in the stands, cheering for their teams.
After picking sides, Inter Milan attacked first.
Veron took the ball and slanted it. Martins used the speed of a track and field athlete to throw Feng Xiaoting away. However, Feng Xiaoting kicked the ball first and poked the ball out of the baseline.
Feng Xiaoting's defensive awareness has improved a lot. He knows that he can't outrun the opponent with this ball, but his body covers a large area and his feet are very accurate.
Inter Milan's corner kick, this time, Cordoba, who is not tall, grabbed the spot, but the top was too high.
This Colombian defender is quite interesting. He is only 173 tall, but he plays as a central defender.
His characteristics are flexibility, fast speed, and a good way of marking people.
Seeing this scene, Wenger also yelled nervously on the sidelines, telling the players to pay attention to marking.
There was research before the game, and I knew that Inter Milan's set-pieces are also an important means of scoring goals, but the players are not focused now, and they were almost scored by Cordoba lightning.
Subsequently, in Arsenal's attack, Jia Yi also kicked through the middle.
Henry stepped in and pushed the shot. Inter Milan goalkeeper Carlini reacted quickly and saved the ball to the bottom line. Arsenal also got a corner kick.
Henry ran over to take the corner kick. Now that Materazzi is not playing, Jia Yi is a threatening point. Therefore, the person who took the penalty was replaced by Henry.
Henry made an arc, and the ball was at the forward point, which was not easy to defend.
Despite Cordoba's strenuous efforts to interfere, Jia Yi grabbed the spot, and then a lion shook his head, and the ball flew straight to the near corner of the goal.
What a Carlini, at such a close range, he reacted quickly and fished the ball from the goal line.
Afterwards, Van Persie made a supplementary shot close at hand, and was punched out of the baseline by this guy again!
Great!
The home fans also roared excitedly, very satisfied with Carini's performance.
